Maison Fauve - Doll Blouse
About the Doll blouse
Maison Fauve fans adore this Indie brand's unique blouse designs and the latest addition to the collection is sure to please. It's perfect for those joining in #SewAprilBlouse26 too! The Doll embodies bold, confident femininity. It combines a clean, streamlined bodice and softly scooped neckline with statement balloon sleeves, which are finished with beautifully structured pleats. It has a romantic air due to the gently shaped silhouette. Another bonus is that it's quick to sew!
The technical aspects include carefully forming the sleeve pleats, setting the sleeves into the bodice, and sewing gathers.
